00:00Welcome back. Over 2,000 buildings damaged by Israeli bombardments across the Gaza Strip face an immediate risk of collapse,
00:07posing a lead threat to thousands of displaced Palestinians taking shelter in their ruins.
00:11The warning comes following two structural collapses in Gaza City that claim the lives of 21 people, including 12 children.
00:18Local authorities and Palestinian civil defense units warn that the onset of the rainy season will severely worsen structural decay
00:26across damaged urban sectors.
00:28Marine services report that a critical shortage of home machinery, clearance equipment and fuel costs by the ongoing siege prevents
00:37the demolition of unstable structures,
00:40forcing displaced families to remain inside hazardous buildings due to the lack of alternative safe shelter.
